		<description>It is sad that NPR and so many other media outlets do not explain that renewable energy is the future of energy. I have seen statistics that show the comparison on job creation. The numbers showed that based on the same money invested, renewable energy created many more jobs than fossil fuels. 

The reality is that the vast majority of scientists agree (97-98%) that climate change is real and fossil fuels must be phased out as an energy source. If corporations were as assertive and motivated to produce renewable energy we could have these jobs, and further more, we would be acting with a sense of urgency concerning our environment.

The sooner we address these issues the better -- but it requires vision, objectivity and the desire to see future generations have a healthy environment. 

In WV all you hear is how coal, oil and gas provide jobs yet we are ranked as one of the states with higher poverty and higher forms of illness by comparison to the other states. With that in mind, we could look to renewable energy and create jobs. It all starts with having accurate science and educating with hopes of developing solutions. We have every opportunity and if we start integrating renewable energy on a massive scale our dependance on fossil fuels would be reduced thus helping future generations, providing jobs in a healthier environment.</description>

		<description>While I totally agree with the anti-fracking campaign, or what&#039;s left of it, NPR is one of the only news outlets to continue to cover the ongoing devastation of the foreclosures sweeping the country. 

What used to be communities are rapidly becoming fiefdoms, thanks to real estate brokers.

Why don&#039;t we look for real social justice instead of self serving wah wah wah...?</description>

		<description>Several weeks ago, I registered &quot;thinktwiceaboutit.com&quot; in order to establish a mechanism for green energy advocates to respond, rebut, rebuke, and  ridicule ANGA&#039;s NPR-facilitated &quot;deceptive marketing claptrap.&quot; 

I am a member of Communities for Safe and Sustainable Energy, in Oberlin, Ohio, an anti-fracking organization. 

The general public needs to understand and respond.
